Show Summary

  • Returning Series
Dora the Explorer features the adventures of Dora, her monkey Boots, her Backpack and many other animated characters. In each episode, viewers help her to go an adventure in an animated world set inside a computer.

The third season of the program kicked off with "Dora's Star-Catching Adventure," introducing a new concept in which viewers interact with the show by searching for explorer-stars in each episode. A number of episodes are available in book form and on commercial video/DVD, including a couple direct-to-video releases. There are also a number of episodes and movies produced, but still unaired.

Dora the Exploreris currently in repeats on Nick Jr. and Noggin. Noggin airs the program every day including weekends at 3 and 4 P.M., but only shows first-season episodes. Nick Jr. shows episodes weekdays at 10 A.M., 11 A.M. and 1:30 P.M. and also occasionally organizes special showings in a marathon format. All repeats tend to be in a random order and all times listed are eastern.

Theme Song:

    OK this show sucks so much. I HATE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!! Really i do. Now first the theme song, its the most annoyingest theme song there is. OK Dora is so fricken annoying, and to make things worst she talks in Spanish. I mean when she does that we have no idea what they're saying! Now Boots is so stupid and annoying. Now the last time i saw this show is was like 7, and i hated this show so so so much! Kids will not like it. Now there are talking animals and talking rainclowds What the heck!!!!! That's not right. Now the villians are the troll and swiper. Now the troll is the most annoying villian there is in child tv show history. Now Swiper is just wrong and a waste of time , you know he's not gonna get away with it and he leaves when Dora says "Swiper no swiping." I would just kill Dora and take the thing if i was swiper. And don't even get me started on the backpack and map. Now the ending (the we did it song) Wow i mean just Wow!moreless

    Please people never watch Dora the Explorer! It doesn't teach kids anything for their future life and most important Dora just leaves the house with a forengin monkey named Boots and without parents' notice!!! What if a kid did the same pretending as Dora and was never found!!! Dora the Explorer is just a very pointless and stupid show for young ones.And Dora has a BIG head by the way.

    The last time I saw this show I was like 5 but i kind of liked it. OK the only thing i hated is the we did it song at then and when Dora asked us what was our favorite part. That got annoying. And when Dora kept speaking Spanish. Dora we don't care that you can speak spanish. 5 year olds watch this speak english. Any way i kind of liked it Overall 6.5/10.moreless

  • One of Nickelodeon's most successful shows. Clearly aimed at children under the age of 7. An educational show, with a positive female main charachter/rolemodel, that teaches basic Spanish phrases along the way. Adored by young children the world over.moreless

    My daughter is a big fan of this show and it keeps her interested, and helped her with basic math - counting and problem solving. I have nothing but praise for the show. I have not seen anything in it I would call offensive or untoward, and I would recommend to anyone with children under the age of 7.
    Of course if your older you might not enjoy - but go figure?! It does make me wonder about the ages of the users here. If you can write on a webpage this program is clearly not intended for you!moreless

  • Welcome to Anthropomorphic Heaven, everyone!

    "Terrible"
    By Idle-Mack, Dec 05, 2011 Report Abuse
    Err... what do I have to say to this... kid's show? One thing's for sure... it totally sucks ass, and great for retards. At the very first episode, all seems well. No problem. Suddenly, anthropomorphic characters start popping all over the place. WTF?!!!
    From the fat backpack that has a veracious appetite for... stuff, and a map that can talk... up to the point where it got superpowers?!!! Then here comes a talking monkey... seems fairly reasonable, especially without the map and backpack. Then a talking bull appeared... and then an iguana, virtually all chordates... then umm... talking choo-choo trains like 'asul', talking trucks, talking vehicles, talking clouds, talking pumpkins, flowers, stars... rainbow?!!! Talking moon?!!! Up the point that our 865,000 miles in diameter Sun is talking, and in one episode, Dora and Boots have to 'wake' up the gigantic Sun! Then there are talking invertebrates, a fictuous 'grumpy old troll', a talking toucan, is everything talking in this show?!!!
    Then there's something else that's a bit um... yeah.
    About the 'swiper no swiping', it has no effect in the real world. Just like what other people who reviewed this said, criminals and other bad people won't stop 'swiping' or something, no matter how many zillion times you say 'no swiping' or some sort.
    Though short-term effect is good, long-term certainly isn't. There's a possibility that the child watching this might contract Schizophrenia or some other mental illness in the future by just watching this! The only plus points are the following:
    1. Neatly designed characters.
    The characters look nice on the outside. The inside certainly isn't (Virtually everything talks).
    2. Great background.
    3. Animation. The animation is quite good.
    4. Kids can learn how to use a 'map', but that talking map should be removed.
    5. Making decisions is VERY evident, even for reviewers like you and me, if you know what I mean. (What the? This should be a cro!!!)
    6. A little Math is present.
    7. Some logical reasoning too and other things are present.
    8. Following Directions is obvious.
    Too bad it's overshadowed by tons of retarded and anthropomorphic stuff that really lowered everything to da pitz.
    Despite all these pros, one word summarizes all what I've said: Avoid!!!
